Storms have ravaged our coast. Yesterday, the Coast Guard returned a HUGE buoy to its place in the ocean - it had been uprooted from it's mooring and washed ashore during in one of the recent storms. Earth Day/week brought out many groups to clean up miles of shore line.


Wow! Those storms must have been very scary!

April 22nd is designated "Earth Day" but many communities have celebrations and activities scheduled throughout the week. This challenge includes human impact on the earth, any activities your community might have (clean ups etc), climate consciousness, and efforts to be kind to our climate. Include weather impact if you can. Can't think of anything? Show us the terrain in your neighborhood - rocks, dirt and mud are totally acceptable in this challenge.

Anyone is welcome to participate - use "reply" to write your reply and attach your image. Want to comment? Please use "Quote Reply" under the post tht caught your eye.

So, what does Earth Week look like where you are?

Thanks for hosting Pat. I'll likely have to take some that will fit, but I think I can find some that may fit now.


Great bigfoot

That October 2020 fire resulted in us having to evacuate due to the bad air quality. There was virtually no chance that the fire itself would threaten our home, but the air quality got so bad that most of our side of the city was forced to leave for a couple of days until the fires was knocked down. We were fortunate as a friend let us use their condo down the coast in San Clemente until we got the all clear. Below is a view of Pacific from the patio of the condo. We almost hated to go back home

I'm wondering if it's the same in other formerly rural places...each home had a place where they "dumped" their garbage, bottles, trash. There was no trash pick up and composting was unheard of. You drove a vehicle or used a tool till it could no longer be repaired - and then you dragged it to the edge of a field/tree line and dropped it

A few "drag and drops" - they never completely decay back into the earth, they do become homes for some animals, but they also tend to leak chemicals into the soil. Some become long lost treasure parts for someone looking to restore old vehicles.

Back when I was a kid (!!!), there used to be a public dump about 8 miles away for the use of everyone in the area. As a kid, it was loaded with treasures, and it was always the coolest thing to stop there - and dump

With respect to your sign about co-existing with Coyotes:


We have them in the suburbs by us, and they seem to be smarter than many of the people who live nearby. They sit down and wait for traffic to clear. Before crossing, they check in both directions, then safely trot across.
